[QUOTE="torch, post: 1455370, member: 1295"] Yes and no. You are correct that high-output bulbs are usually over-driven and burn out faster. If they don't burn out, the light output tends to fade over time so they still need replacement sooner to maintain the brighter light. However, motorcycles can benefit from an "anti-vibration" type bulb. They usually have extra supports for the filament and cost a bit more. But they are far more resistant to the high-frequency vibrations motorcycles generate and that plague hot filaments. (Cheap LED substitutes can also suffer from vibration induced failure, but in that case it's the circuit solder joints not the LED itself.) [/QUOTE]
